@Bexsta101 also how far along where you when you had the D&C as I believe the further along you are the longer it takes for hcg to drop out. I’m not an expert on it tho but maybe best ringing your doctor to see if your tests should be showing negative by now

Thanks girls, I think I'll ring the dr for advice but if not I'll wait another week. I was 10 weeks along but baby died at 8 weeks 6 days.

Let me know how you get on and what the doctor says x

@Bexsta101 sorry to hear about your MC. Please let us know how you get on with the doctor x

The dr said I shouldn't have the hormone in my system after 5 weeks but I have to wait another week and do another one....this is going to be the longest week ever!!!

@Bexsta101 Fingers crossed for you x

@Bexsta101 what made you test? Have you had symptoms?

@MichT4 no symptoms but I just kept reading that you should test negative before trying again opps...I dont feel like I could be pregnant like last time so I'm convinced it's my hormones playing tricks on me

@Hayleylou89 glad you are doing well even though you are still nauseous 😕 did they tell you that COVID could've caused issues with the pregnancy? I didn't realise there was any risks to pregnancy with contracting it😩 you're not shielding are you? Xx

@VP91x id be suprised if you peaked overnight as think it's supposed to be released early morning for the surge. As you've had peaks every other month I'd just wait until you see one again might just be a couple days later this month 😡 before my peak my tests don't gradually increase I'll randomly get low in the highs so I wouldn't worry xx

@Eli2020 it is so frustrating that the tests costs so much and really are so inaccessible to many, even more annoying that a lot of ladies that I've seen have been referred for tests have unexplained infertility so basically the tests might come back saying all looks good 😩

@2020wish id definitely get signed off again if you don't feel up to going back to work. I went back into the office a week after surgery and actually found it a good distraction but your job does sound more physically intense so you have to do what's right for you xx

@Bexsta101 yeah I think 5 weeks is quite a long time for it still to be showing on a digital, The only reason for the negative pregnancy first is to avoid confusion over if there is any complications from surgery I think (if there was any retained products). Fingers crossed it's a new pregnancy for you xx

Thank you @SmileyT. This is going to be the longest week of my life!

@Bexsta101 oh well, they also say wait a cycle and I'm not sure many of us did that! Ha!
You never know, not every pregnancy has symptoms, not so early especially. Find something to distract you and I'm sure the week will go quick enough (as if - TTC time slows waaaaay down!). Exciting! x

@VP91x my earlier start is throwing me. I keep thinking where is that damn OPK, and then I look at the time and realise you probably haven't done it yet. What time is the next pee due?

And LOL at that angry face on @SmileyT's message. Stupid bloody OPK/CB flashy nonsense

Thank you @MichT4. Luckily I'm one of the lucky ones still working so I'm hoping this will distract me somewhat!

@SmileyT you are giving me an interesting perspective-did not take into consideration that it may come back as unexplained fertility. I've just felt so desperate that I thought tests could give me answers. But even if I did invest all this money (not considering it at this price unfortunately) doesn't mean I'll receive the answers I've wanted 🙁

Has any of you ladies had any tests done on the NHS and how long did you have to wait?

@2020wish I personally wouldn't go to work yet and will ask for the leave to be extended. You wouldn't want to have all this stress right now of worrying about work as well. But that's just my opinion ☺️

@Hayleylou89 ultrasound at 1.40pm today xx
Temps down again today . Femometer app putting AF due tomorrow so it may be spot on. 😓 x x

@SmileyT yeah I definitely don't think it happened overnight. I've got loads of ewcm today so I think maybe later on?

@MichT4 I'm going to try and hold off until just before 1. I've distracted myself by popping out to Tesco with little miss diva 😂

@VP91x you are the actual queen of EWCM! So impressed, and a little envious

Enjoy Tesco, I hope the little lady keeps a level head

@Eli2020 your GP can do the bloods so that should give you some answers at least. I'm so sorry that it's postcode dependant what card you get. I wonder if it's because we only get one round of IVF on NHS so maybe we are entitled to some other tests? I don't know. It's definitely a lot of money for you especially if your insurance doesn't cover it. Worth checking just to make sure x

@chloedancer897 I appreciate all your help and advice on this. May I please ask what sort of answer will the bloods give? What do they analyse? Thanks

@Eli2020 my consultant was checking that my hormone levels were all ok. They usually get you to take bloods at a certain point in your cycle and it helps them analyse if you're ovulating or not.

@chloedancer897 this is very useful information-I didn't know about that. Thanks a lot!

@Eli2020 hopefully you start getting some answers soon xx

@MichT4 I didn't have so much last month, it is definitely the 18litres of GF juice I have drank 😂

Tesco was horrendous, no idea why I thought it would be a good idea to go 😒😒 just got back home. It was like an episode of supermarket sweep the way I was rushing around haha xx

@VP91x I need to up my game on the grapefruit juice.

I need to do some food shopping and you’ve just put me right off 😂

@MichT4 haha you'll be alright!!

Yeah, it's made a big difference xx

No luck with the lunchtime one @MichT4 😒
